if you want it to jump out at you, leave it. If you want it to look more subtle, then paint it black

Normally, I would say paint it but that actually doesn't look half bad

Thanks fellas. I decided to keep it for a while. I'll see how I feel in a few months. Right now, I personally like it. Classy yet agressive. I rather stand out in a good way. Thanks for all the feedback. Next mods would be to paint my grill black, get some black emblems and some LED rear lights.

^ Oh you want pictures of black roof, white roof spoiler? isn't this thread is all about that?

Color matched of the black roof? or color matched of the body of the car?

Color matched on the body of the car. There are a couple pics but its only from up top, I want to see some more pics on ground level. Couldn't find anything while searching either.

This is pretty funny.....I suggest you paint it so it flows as others have said. It looks like a push bar for a shopping cart.

And by paint it you guy's mean paint it black right? I feel like it would be too subtle but I'll go with what you guys say since I've never had a black roof before (Unless you count a convertible as a black roof lol)
